I figured if I had a bad result I'd suck it up and rip out/redo at some point. I had previously painted my ugly grey 1995 kitchen…

Brisbane box garden - 6 months of successes and failures
I planted this native garden in timber boxes just before Christmas, and thought I'd share what has died, survived and thrived.
